Good morning.

I want to welcome you all.

Especially those of you who are new to...

How are you feeling?

See ya.

Hurry, hang on, I'll give you a lift.

Morning. I've made you a coffee. I thought you might need one.

You're not going back to bed?

I wish.

I've got to go to work.

No, really.

Money boss starts today.

Shame. Yeah.

It is.

Can you let yourself out when you're ready?

Will you give me a call?

Yeah, I will.

Have you heard anything from Jess?

Yeah, she texted me.

Emma's mum's going to drop her off at school.

At least we know where she is.

Karen. Don't worry, I just thought it might be nice if one of my children was

around to offer me some support.

My first day back.

I thought we were trying to get things back to normal.

And your point is?

What's more normal than a kid's treatment as we can tell?

You've got a ladder in there.

Oh, it's not it.

You count to ten with me, and then come and find me.

One, two... One, two, three.

Right, I'm off.

Charlie?

I'm going.

All right, OK.

Knock on bed, love.

You all right?

Yeah.

So you've been press -ganged into the welcoming committee too? Chris just

a new head to see some friendly faces when she arrives.

Makes me wonder what you're doing here.

Well, I'm prepared to give her a chance, which no doubt she will squander by

promising everything and delivering nothing.

Well, I heard she saved her last week on special measures.

Yes, and then immediately resigned.

How do you know that?

I have my sources.

Oh, you mark my words, they've stuck us with another lemon.

Morning.

How are we all?

We ready to go? Oh, what's up with you?

Get out the right side of the wrong bed this morning? No, I couldn't possibly

comment. I don't believe it.

Is that who I think it is?

Who knows?

Janice? Mr Clapton?

Budger? Thought we'd seen the back of you. Janice is a former inmate.

Can't believe I'm back.

Eight o 'clock the latest. I want all the gots. What's he been up to?

It's not happened.

He's got a new job and then you feel sicker.

God help us.

Well, this day just gets better and better.

Put your tongue back in, Tom.

That's our new head of Spanish that you're dribbling over.

Hola!

Does she have a name?

Cheska. Cheska Montoya.

Cheska Montoya.

What the hell?

No! I don't want to be here! You can't leave me!

Ruth!

Dad, I knew you'd come and even let me do this.

We're going home, yeah? Yeah. Jonah, in the car.

Marcus, no, you can't do this. This is all bit of crazy. Not by me. Look at

place, Hannah. It's Mr Kirby, isn't it?

They're not staying here.

Oh, I think I'd better get over there.

Grace.

Is this her? Having the road rage incident with the parent?

Nice start.

Do you think we could... Jonah, in the car.

I think we should give this place a chance.

Mr Kirby?

Do you even know what I've given them?

How far ahead they are?

Beyond anybody in this town? Marcus, stop it! Think about what you're doing

them! Perhaps you should both think about that.

Can we move this inside, please?

Yeah, Mr Kirby, if you'd like to come with me.

Dad?

Right.

You two, into assembly with me, please.

And that goes for the rest of you. Inside, please, now.

Well, come on. You heard Mrs Fisher. In you go.

Eleven, eh?

Give it time.

Which brings me around to telling you about the things that are going to

this year.

That's what you all want to hear about, isn't it?

The cooler.

It's gone.

It does not exist anymore.

Well, I'm glad you all approve of that, but perhaps I should point out that in

future, all troublemakers will be sent to me.

Because if you're causing trouble in my school, I want to know why, and you will

explain yourselves to me.

Not that there is ever any excuse for violent, disruptive, or disrespectful

behavior.

No excuse whatsoever.

Which is why there is another new rule.

Three strikes and you're out.

The first time you are violent, disruptive or disrespectful, you'll be

from school for two weeks.

The second time, you'll be suspended for three weeks.

And if you are stupid enough to do it a third time, You'll no longer be welcome

at my school.

So I hope I've made myself perfectly clear, and I'm sure it won't stop us

an enjoyable term at Waterloo Road.

Does anyone have any questions?

Good.

Then let's make a start.

Do you want one?

I've told you about this before.

What the hell do you think you're doing? Don't talk to me like that.

Why didn't you come home this morning? Because I didn't want to.

It's not about what you want, is it?

I need to know where you were last night.

I sent Dad a text message, all right? That's not good enough.

I honestly don't see what your problem is.

Angela's mum said this. Angela? You were at Angela's last night, were you?

Yes. OK, so can you just leave me alone, please?

We'll talk about this later.

Whatever.

Nice shoes, yeah?

to get three strikes off her than the new head. I don't know. I guess she

all right.

What? Oh, no, not in that way.

It means she seems pretty reasonable.

Yeah, for now.

Give her a few weeks, she'll soon be thrown awake about.

Well, she's the head.

Yeah, but we run the school, innit?

Yeah. That's right, you tell him.

Oh, making new friends, are we, baby brother?

Get stuffed, Jess, I'm not a baby.

Yeah, he's the right little rebel, your brother. Gonna show Fisher who's boss.

Are you finally gonna stick up for yourself against Mummy, are you? Just

Mummy?

He is Fisher's number one son.

Oh.

Just because she's my mum, I'm not going to tell her anything.

No, don't believe that, OK? Because little piggy's had big ears, and you

big little piggy, haven't you? You're not supposed to call me that anymore.

But it suits your piggy.

I was hoping I might get called by my actual name at this school.

What is your name?

It's Harry.

Harry. Don't answer the piggy if it's not your name.

Excuse me, but we're having a private conversation here.

Oh, sorry. Does it sound like that?

Really, what did it sound like?

That you were trying to make yourself look big by humiliating your little

brother.

Speechless. Didn't think I'd see that.

Right, first lesson, English literature.

What about you?

I've got Spanish.

Oh, you'll be all right.

Just don't be too much like... Ruth.

Gee, thanks.

I'll see you at lunch.

Right. In you go.

Quietly.

Morning,

Miss Fisher.

I've been there waiting for you.

Talk about it.

Right. I've sorted out all your posts.

But you get loads, don't you? Right. First things first.

Did you have that when I interviewed you?

Just sort of popped out over summer.

How many months, Denise?

Six. Maybe seven.

I'm not quite sure.

I'm not being sick anymore, so that's what you're worried about.

Now, listen, all of this stuff needs editing, OK? Anything from the LEA,

Department of Education, new guidelines, all needs to go in the brown file.

Brown file?

And everything else I'll deal with eventually.

It's your job to sort out that crap so I can get on with my own job, OK?

You're my gatekeeper.

Got it?

Don't worry, Miss Fisher. Your gate is now shut.

You ready?

Yeah.

Right. No calls while we deal with this.

I'm doing five years of my hard work. Why does everything have to be about

It's not.

But you know what this is really about.

Why don't you take a seat, Mr Kirby, and enlighten us? The educational system in

this country fails children like mine.

For the last five years, I've been teaching my children one -to -one with

success.

Success?

They have no friends except each other. They know nothing but textbooks and

exams. They're focused.

They're hothouse flowers. Well, this is clearly old territory for both of you.

So why don't we find a way to move this forward?

Well, that's what I'm trying to do.

Let my children develop.

Let them grow.

There are things that they need to learn that you can't teach them at the

kitchen table.

Ruth has an IQ of someone twice her age.

Do you even know where this school is on the league tables?

League tables are only part of the story.

This is a multicultural school with a very diverse catchment area.

We cater for the needs of many different children here.

Words. Just words! Well, we're going to back those words up with our actions.

See, I've looked at Ruth's records, and I agree.

We need to take an unconventional approach with her.

So she won't be placed in her own year group.

Instead, we'll fast -track her straight into GCSE classes.

But that's just more hothousing. You're missing the point.

Realistically, Mrs Kirby, if we put her with her own peer group, she'll be bored

before first period.

Also, I've asked one of our pupils to help her through her first week.

Sam Kelly.

She's a real Whatley Road success.

Mr Kirby, my first priority...

It's to make this school a very safe environment.

I do not tolerate violence or bullying.

Your children will be very safe here.

I can promise you that.

You've got one week.

Lauren?

Lauren?

Mr Meads asked me to look after the new girl, Ruth.

And I thought we could do it together.

Yeah.

Make friends with the homeschool freaks, although rather a freak than a total

loser. What's the matter with you?

You spend all summer with your boyfriend, and now he's dumped you, you

talk? Nice one.

Well, Lauren, it's not like that.

But I don't want to stay here.

Ruth, you have to give it a chance. Why?

Dad.

Maybe it's time, sweetheart.

Maybe I've taught you all I can.

No.

I want to be with you.

I know.

And I want to be with you.

You and your brother are the best things I've ever done.

Come on.

How long?

I don't know. How long do I have to give it?

A week, at least.

If it doesn't work?

Then you never have the set foot in this place again.

Down, take a look at the sheet.

I've got your sheet.

Right. I've got a lot to get through this year, so let's make a start.

Look at the reading list in front of you.

It's a lot on there.

Do you think we'll have to read it? Yes, you do have to read them all.

Now, the exam board has been particularly trendy this year by

their more politically correct selections. We even have a book about

The Other Side Truth.

It's an excellent book.

Most of it's set in London, actually.

A cultural island in an otherwise sea of chaffness. She's read it.

Yeah, I have.

Have you?

Of course I've read. I've read everything on the list. Don't you think

something to say about the refugee experience?

About the prejudice they encounter from the general populace and their own

cultural group?

I think that it doesn't matter what I think because I am not sitting the exam.

Any other questions before we move on?

I noticed that T .F. Eliot's on here.

Why are we doing the wasteland?

I find it a little simplistic.

Yes, Ruth Kirby?

Seriously, we're expected to read Treasure Island.

It's nothing more than a children's story. It's so linear.

Ruth.

What now?

What, Ruth? Yes, Ruth Kirby. Yes, Ruth. What? Catch her in the rye. And what is

the problem with that one?

It's just teenage boy's silly fantasy. The protagonist is just a loser, and

we're thrust to think it's so profound.

Spoiler alert.

Don't ruin the ending.

Not that kind of book, really.

You probably won't get it.

You young lady can go to the pool.

There is one no more, sir. You'll have to take her to see Miss Fisher.

Marvellous idea. Follow me.

Jess,

we need to talk, please.

to be late for my next class.

Why didn't you tell me?

You didn't ask.

Oh, come off it. You shouldn't have even been in that club. You're underage.

Yeah, for drinking.

Jess. Hold on a second. You didn't even tell me what you did.

Turns out it wasn't just me out on a school night. Don't start playing games

with me.

I don't do games.

I've got to know.

Mrs Fisher, this young lady has been disrupting my class.

Really? And how's she been doing that?

Well, she's been as... She has been asking questions.

And if you ask me, she doesn't want the answers. She just likes the sound of her

own voice.

I mean, I do have other pupils.

Oh, I know that.

And you know that.

But she doesn't.

What?

She's been homeschooled, Mr. Button.

It's attention -seeking.

It's what she's used to.

Evidently. Look, I wouldn't have put her in your class if I didn't think you

were a match for her.

Of course. I mean, I've been teaching English since before she was born.

the spirit, Mr. Button. Go back to your classroom and show her what you're made

of. I will.

Right, you, back to class.

But... Now!

Are you hiding from me?

No. Not at all. Good.

Let's go.

Where to? I want to survey my kingdom.

Right.

Okay.

So these ingredients just need to mingle in this very hot pan.

It's just a Spanish list, apparently.

She just tripped in and asked if I have some eggs.

I don't know what she's making apart from a mess.

Right, time to go over our vocabulary. So the next thing that I need to do

Bater los huevos.

Anybody?

The eggs.

You need to beat them. Muy bien, Jonah.

So you call that a sit -on, miss?

Of course.

What, for your boyfriend?

I haven't got one, if that's what you're asking.

I wasn't, but as you brought it up.

Time to add the eggs to the pan, I think.

She's great.

We'll have more of these.

It's a different approach to teaching.

Imaginative lessons that really grab the kids.

We've just done this.

What? I think she needs to work on her tongue.

It's a little bit... Letatious?

Over -familiar.

Well, have a word.

I'll check out the English department.

And there you have a real Spanish omelette, como mi madre solía hacer,

mother used to make.

OK, everyone gather round, grab a fork, have a taste. Careful, it's hot.

It's not the only thing that's hot in here.

Come on.

Mr Mead, can I tempt you at all?

Oh, no, no, no. No, I'm fine. Come on.

Just a taste.

Right. Bums on chairs, fingers on lips. There's a lot of you.

Like, just about, you know.

Denise, I got your note. What's going on?

I did what I had to. There was taking up too many spaces on the steps.

I've become an in -house and safety issue.

Tell me again why you got rid of the cooler, because this, this ain't

Why are you here?

I don't know. Don't give me that Denzel, Kelly. You've obviously done something.

Thanks, Denise. I can manage.

Denzel. I wasn't even talking that much. Were you told not to talk?

Yeah. How many times?

A few.

Is that why the rest of you are here?

Talking, playing up, generally being silly?

Yeah. Right, we can spend a break in here and then straight back to London.

In silence.

Please. Thank you.

Janice, would you mind?

It would be my pleasure.

Who are you?

Zippy.

for Karen?

Oh, yes, please, Tom.

I also need to have a word with everyone about the cooler situation.

I knew it wouldn't last.

But then it was never meant to last.

Closing the cooler was always going to be a temporary measure.

I mean, that's not what you said.

Well, why close it in the first place?

Well, because it was the quickest way to find out who the habitual troublemakers

were. Fair enough.

And to find out who needed the most help in dealing with them.

But it's the cooler that helps us deal with them. That is its job. No, it's a

last resort.

And that's not what I'm seeing.

I think some of you have become far too reliant on it.

Well, why should we stand for having our classrooms disrupted?

Fair enough.

But I think you should be able to deal with it in your own classroom.

How would we do that?

By nipping it in the bud from the off?

If you allow a situation to escalate, then...

You're going to have no option but to want the kid out of your sight.

That's easy for you to say. Tell me, what was more disruptive this morning?

Ruth Kirby's questions or you leaving your entire class unattended while you

brought her to my office?

Well... By sending a child to my office, you're also sending yourself.

Is that right, Grantley?

Thank you.

Well, she can't have it both ways.

I mean, are we sending kids to the cooler or not?

Chris? I'm not getting involved.

My boy.

Keep it going. Keep it going.

Why don't you join in?

It's okay.

I'll just watch.

18 months.

I'm sorry?

How long have I been away from work?

You should have seen me this morning. I was in a right mess.

Still, a year and a half.

It's a long time to be away from things.

Get used to your own company.

Doing your own thing.

Yeah. I suppose.

And then you've got to meet a whole new set of people, get to know them.

That's hard.

Your dad expects a lot from you, doesn't he? He's put a lot of time and effort

into us.

Look, most parents just don't bother.

I think he's done a great job for you and Ruth. It's brilliant how grateful

are to him.

I am.

I really am.

You know how you can repay him for all the hard work he's done?

By being your own person.

Do your own thing.

Show him how much he's taught you.

All right.

Okay?

Hey!

Over here!

Football trials are on this afternoon.

Be good to see you there.

Go on.

the seat and sit down quickly and quietly.

There's no need for anybody else to be talking except me.

Well, he's the one that's late.

What did I just finish saying, Lauren?

Sorry, sir.

Okay.

Welcome to GCSE Biology.

Today, we're going to be looking at sugars, how they form in the body and

they do. But first of all, we're going to be starting with an experiment, as

can see.

Cool. Love practicals.

Yeah, you would. We're going to be measuring how much energy sugar gives

And we're going to do that by measuring heat. Now I need someone to hand out the

goggles.

Lauren.

What are you doing?

You'll see.

Sir? Who?

What is that?

What have you done? Just sugar and salt, Peter.

Of course, if I'd have had some sulphur, then I could have made you gunpowder.

Good effect, though, isn't it?

It's a drill, leave all your things and make your way towards the playground

quietly, please.

It's a drill, isn't it?

It's not that I know.

Keep going.

Chelsea, are you all right? What have you got to say for yourself?

Nothing.

Boys, everybody!

That was a false alarm, so back to your classes as quickly as possible.

Come on, move it!

You're far enough getting out here.

Time to explain yourself to Mrs Fisher.

A smoke bomb?

Basically, yeah.

Why, Ruth?

I really don't know.

So, should I go straight to your office?

Miss! Miss Fisher!

I'll deal with you later.

Miss Fisher!

Miss, quick!

Did she mean later?

I just got your lesson, Rhys. Go on.

Fine. Chemical warfare won't get me expelled from this dump.

Jasmine, what's wrong? Miss, she's got asthma.

I think she's reacted to the smoke. I see.

Are you going to be okay? Where's her inhaler? Well, there's a fire alarm.

your things inside.

Parental punch -up.

Mass evacuation.

Mathematic pupil.

Talk about a baptism of fire.

Or not, as the case may be.

Are you still in a mood with me, Laurie?

Dunno. Am I?

Well, you haven't spoken to me all day.

Yeah, it's awful when someone does that to you, innit? You know, like when

someone ignores you or something because they've been with some boyfriend. I was

gonna ring you.

Yeah, too little, too late, Sam.

What are you doing?

I don't know. I've never played this game before.

Stand over there, Miss Tom.

Why on earth would I want to do that? Because you're supposed to be marking

you cheeky cow.

Hey, girls!

Yes! Yes, open it! Open it! Lauren, open it!

She should have passed that to you.

Yeah, I know she should, but she didn't. So shut up.

like you, do they? I mean, maybe it's because you do common things like

whistling.

I'm not going to tell you, are they?

Yes, here.

Here. No, you just passed me the ball.

For God's sake, Lauren.

In fact, I don't think anybody likes you.

Yes. I'm surprised you've got a boyfriend.

I don't need to tell you both that you're in serious trouble.

But maybe... Be quiet.

I won't have violence in the school, and I will not have pupils scheming to get

themselves and others into trouble.

Well, what I was doing, eh?

I'm well aware of what was going on, and there will be consequences for both of

you.

Sambuka, you are suspended for violent conduct. Oh, she...

me to hit her. You are old enough to know better than to give her the

satisfaction.

And what about me?

Can't have me in your school after everything I've done.

Don't forget about the smoke bomb.

Oh, I haven't.

Expel me.

You have to expel me. That's what you said in the assembly.

You don't tolerate my kind of behaviour.

No, and I don't reward it either, and that's what exclusion would mean to you.

What? So she's just going to get away with it? She's right.

It's not fair. Fair?

You think it was fair that Chelsea Woods had to go home after your smoke bomb?

I don't really care.

No, you don't, do you?

All you care about is lessons and passing exams.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing. That's all you're capable of.

You see, I don't think you're capable of making friends and getting on with

people. And that's why you want out of this school.

Because it's too hard for you.

It's rubbish.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Then you'll have plenty of opportunity to prove me wrong, Ruth, because you're

staying here.

Hey! Ruth!

What's happened?

What do you think happened?

Yeah, but how?

Does it matter?

That was right. This place isn't safe for us. Can we go now?

What?

No.

I've been assaulted.

Yeah, and you won't tell me why.

Ruth, I know you too well.

What are you saying?

You're the genius. You tell me.

I want to go back to dance.

Well, I don't.

Look, I want to give this place a fair chance.

What about me?

You can do what you like.

Jessica, can I have a word?

Fire away.

I'll, um, catch up with you in a bit.

Inside, please.

How can I help?

You can come with me to your mum's office.

We need to tell her what's gone on.

Um, no, we don't need to do anything.

Jess.

Last night should never have happened.

You know, it's okay.

I don't feel exploited.

He didn't abuse me. Yes.

No, I wanted it to happen. But that doesn't make it all right.

Now, come on. You're coming with me.

No, do you know what? Just don't. Don't go. You don't understand.

No, well, maybe I don't, but this needs to be dealt with. We can't just go in

and tell her on her first day, all right? You can't. Just please, please,

don't tell her. Just don't. Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, I won't.

But I'm going to resign.

Why? Because I can't be your teacher anymore. Not after... It wouldn't be

She must have been up and down like a yo -yo, you know, with the fire drills and

everyone wanting to see Mrs Fisher.

God, everyone wants a chunk of it, don't they?

Yeah, well, me too, I'm afraid.

Ah, can I have a word? I haven't had any lunch yet. Can it wait?

I don't think it can, no.

OK, come on in.

Denise?

No calls?

Yes, Mrs Fisher.

Hey, you seen Ruth?

Oh, Gabby?

She's your sister, isn't she? Yeah, have you seen her?

She never came back for months. What do you mean?

We mean she wasn't at registration.

Not that she was a miss.

Resign?

Why?

I don't want to go into it. Well, I do.

I thought we were getting on well at the planning meetings.

We were.

Is it me?

Is it me you don't want to work with? No.

Because you can say.

No.

It's personal.

Are you sure you're OK here?

Yeah, I know my way from here.

Thanks.

I'll find someone to cover for your lessons.

Thanks, Karen.

I'm really sorry about this. It's a bit late for that now, isn't it?

Mrs Fisher!

You might just rock up in speed to her. You need to go through the front line

first. All right. What's the problem, Jonah?

It's Ruth. I think she's gone.

Janice, can you call Mr and Mrs Kirby and see if she's with them?

What if she isn't?

Then... they'd better come in. Has she got her mobile?

No.

Where do you think she might have gone?

Oh, to Dad's. I don't know how she'd get there. It's miles.

I'd better call the police.

Hang on a sec.

Don't you think I might be jumping the gun a little bit?

Yeah. She's only doing this to get back at me.

No, Pete.

Start again.

One, two, three.

But she's been such a little cow and I know she'll... It's not your fault,

Jonah. Check with Janice that she has the right numbers for your mum and dad.

I've got this now.

You should go.

I'll stay.

Till she's sorted, yeah?

Yes, if you would.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

It is care be there to see you.

Hannah, come in.

You said she'd be safe.

And she will be.

We were asking her classmates if anyone saw her leave.

And the police have sent a card to your ex -husband's house.

Why?

Because that's where Jonah said he thought she would be.

She doesn't know.

Doesn't know what, Hannah?

The house.

We had to put it on the market.

We hadn't told the kids yet.

Well, let's not worry about that at the moment.

Can you think of anywhere else? Marcus said this place would hurt my kids.

He knew it wasn't the right place for Ruth.

But I dragged her here anyway.

I never should have brought my kids here.

Ruth Kirby to the police!

Ruth Kirby!

The police! Come to the door!

Well, see you again, Sergeant Nicholls. You too, Karen. I just wish it was under

better circumstances.

She's a 13 -year -old. She's not very worldly. She left school after an

altercation with another pupil, and then her brother.

I'll need to speak with both of them.

Yep, that's not a problem.

How long's she been missing?

Oh, about an hour and a half.

Too long.

This is Hannah, Ruth's mother.

Hannah, I'm going to need to ask a few questions about your family situation.

For a start, is the father still on the scene?

Yes, I am.

I gave you one week.

It hasn't even been a day, Hannah. I was right about his place. And I was right

about our kids living in a bubble.

Ruth doesn't even have a key to your house. Or a mobile phone. Does she even

know how to use one? She's never needed to.

That's because you've always been there. Until now. That's enough.

You're not helping by blaming each other. No.

Especially when I should be blaming you.

I'm alone inside this parade.

Keep it in my head.

Who would have known that I'm getting in the end zone?

That's the deal with me.

I'm kind of just kind of learned not to be what I have

to be the day.

Is it true about your sister?

I don't know.

Have you heard?

That she's missing?

Yeah.

She'll be all right.

Yeah, you're right. She will be.

It's only been, like, not even 24 hours.

Not even four hours to usually find her.

I hope so.

I just don't know how it works.

Well, I do.

And she's going to turn up, yeah?

Where are you going? To help find Ruth.

I just think I should be, though.

We screwed up today.

Well, we were talking in the staff room. We all want to go.

That's right.

Yeah?

I think we should phone Dad.

Definitely. Mum would want that. OK, well... We'll phone him from home, yeah?

OK.

How are you doing, Karen?

I'm OK.

Are you sure? I'm fine, Paula.

How are they?

You know how it is, Karen.

Minute to minute.

Yeah.

OK, everyone, listen up.

Ruth's been missing now for four hours.

In a couple of hours, the temperature will drop below freezing. If we still

haven't found her, that's when you stop, come back here and let Mountain Rescue

complete the search.

Won't it help if we all look for her for as long as it takes? When the

temperature gets that low, it will seriously affect your judgement. You

get confused.

Hypothermia could set in.

I think we all know what that means. If you find yourself in any difficulty,

blow your whistle and one of us will come and find you. Stay in your groups.

if you find something, no matter what it is, a bag, a shoe, it will help us pick

up Ruth's trail.

Now remember, two hours, no more.

OK, everyone, let's go. Good luck.

Bex? Bex, where are you?

Come on, darling.

Enough now, Bex.

Bex?

Bex, where are you?

You still can't find me, Mum.

Karen?

How do you know that policewoman?

I lost someone before.

I know how all of this works, Chris.

What, another pupil?

Not another pupil.

It was my eldest daughter, Bex.

I'm so sorry.

I can't.

Hey, are you all... No! Look at all of this.

I caused all of this. It's my fault. Ruth would have run away today. Whoever

in charge... No.

I thought I was ready to go back, but I'm not.

I can't do this. I believe in you.

Well, why are you leaving?

I... We need to talk about this when we get back.

Let's keep going, yeah?

Kids?

Jess?

Get back, Jessica. It's time.

Let's just go a little bit further.

You heard what the sergeant said.

If we leave it any longer, they'll be sending a search party out for us.

You've got to give them the all clear.

You're a very lucky girl. I think you're the lucky one. Marcus!

This could have been a whole lot worse. Dad! Hasn't this been bad enough?

She should have known you were selling the house.

We both should have.

You talk about knowledge being power, yet you keep so much from us.

Really, we don't know nothing.

But you made us too different.

Like we were supposed to forget about having mates, going out and talking to

girls. Like those things weren't supposed to matter.

But they really do.

Ruth. For everything you know, there's like a million things that you don't.

Me too.

That's why I'm staying at school.

So we'll see you both at school tomorrow?

Yeah.

Don't think I won't be keeping an eye on you.

Because I will.

Well, I'm sure we'll both value your input.

Won't we, Mr Mead?

Absolutely. It'll be first thing on tomorrow morning's agenda.

Are you sure I can't persuade you? No.

It's been a long day.

I think I'll just get off home, Chris.

OK. You really came through today when it mattered.

Thanks.

Look, I need to know what you said about the meeting tomorrow.

Does that mean you're staying?

I let something personal get in the way.

But seeing you hold it together today after everything you told me...

I came back to do a job.

That's what matters.

You all right?

Yeah, I think so.

Like you said, we're here to do a job.

Well, for what it's worth, I think we make a really good team.

Yeah.

So, tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

A bottle of champagne, please. Seven glasses. And, uh, make it the cheap

Shampoo?

Well, we are celebrating, and as you're the hero of the hour, you can pay.

Should we face?

I'll sit. I'm orange -toothed.

Garnley? Just the one, and then I bet they are.

You're feeling all right. Perfectly well.

Thank you.

Check me posing with the teachers.

I don't think so. Not in your condition.

Yeah, I forgot.

And why are you on the wagon?

You must know.

You're not the only one who's starting a family.

What, you're loose? Not yet.

So, you're going to tell me then?

Tell you what?

Tell me what put that smile on your mosh this morning.

You seeing someone?

No. I thought I was, but... No.

Anybody home?

Hello? Hello?

Bex?

Is that you?

Speak to me, darling.

We've got something, OK? And I'm not going to let it just go away because

scared of my mum.

I put my trust in you this morning, Tom.

Looks like you're blurred.

You told Mr Mead about Beck.

We left out one small detail, Mum. It was your fault.

Do you not see what she's really like? If you're going to choose between me and

her, well, there's really no competition. You are a pathetic little

Anyone see you? This has to stop, John. Yeah, I know.

Dad.

He's seen Miss Montoya.

They're having an affair.
